Aims and Scope

Forbes Journal of Medicine, as a double-blind peer-reviewed journal, includes experimental, basic, original clinical studies in the field of Medicine and Health Sciences and is published three times a year (in April, August and December); publishes reviews, case reports, and letter articles to the editor. The referees that editors will consider as the main factor in the selection of the manuscript are selected from external independent persons who are experts in their fields. We aim to qualify the journal as a publication where academicians of Medicine and Health Sciences will have the opportunity to share their scientific studies by publishing and benefit as a reference.

All submitted manuscripts are first evaluated by the editorial board in terms of compliance with the journal's publishing policies. Appropriate articles are sent to double blind peer review. After the articles are received, they are evaluated and the first decision is forwarded to the author within two months.
